Why the SEC needs another team

[cyingreen]

I've wondered from the start how adding just one member to a 12 team conference would work. This source clarifies that problem. Also makes me increasingly nervous that Missouri might be looking awfully good to the SEC, and vice versa, as the circular firing squad that has tragically become the Big XII conference stumbles on.

This still does not get the SEC a new contract until 2024. This is more money out of VBilt's pockets.

I think its quite obvious that there will be at least one more team added if not 3 by this time next year.

I forgot to mention that the link points out the money involved in cancelled games, etc. Things I had not thought about.

I wouldn't say it's obvious, SEC teams traditionally have open dates later in their schedule that they fill with lesser teams.

I wonder what team would get sent to the eastern division if Mizzou got added with A&M.

West Virginia makes a lot more sense for symmetry's sake.
